The attorney’s office alleges Jackson broke through the doors at the Target Headquarters and ignited a fire during the unrest that occurred in downtown Minneapolis on Aug. 26.
A criminal complaint said surveillance video from inside the store showed Jackson set fire to a desktop inside of the building’s mailroom.
He was stopped later that night by Richfield police and was found in possession of stolen items.
